Best time to visit Mozambique

The wet season from November to March brings tropical rains and can make rural roads difficult. Whale shark season runs from October to February around the Bazaruto Archipelago. The southern beaches near Vilanculos and Tofo are busiest from June to September.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!

Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.

What to Know Before You Buy

  • eSIM requires an unlocked, eSIM-compatible device. Check your phone settings before purchasing.

  • Most travel eSIM plans provide data only. Your existing phone number stays active for calls and texts on your primary SIM.

  • Coverage quality varies by location within Mozambique. Urban areas typically have strong 4G/5G coverage, while rural or remote areas may have limited connectivity.

  • Install your eSIM before departure. Activation requires an internet connection, which may not be available at your destination airport.
